Plan your study budget

Your budget has three parts: tuition, day-to-day living and the costs of getting settled. Use the references below to start planning, then confirm the figures for your course and city.

Tuition & fee references

This is the specific international offer, which can exceed published national averages. Confirm the next intake’s fee directly.

Living-cost planning reference

€600–900per month · published national estimate

Cluj-Napoca rents and private accommodation can change the total. Add tuition, insurance, travel and initial charges.

Confirm current costs for your city and intake. A living-cost estimate is separate from the immigration authority’s financial-evidence requirement.

Fees vary by programme, year and legal status. A semester fee, annual fee and full-programme fee cover different periods. Confirm what is included, payment dates and refund terms with the institution.

Allow for initial expenses

Include application and visa charges, document preparation, insurance, travel and accommodation deposits. Ask what is included before paying; any agency service charge is separate from university and government fees.

Check funding early

Review scholarships with the university or award provider. Check eligibility, deadlines and what an award covers. Build your plan around confirmed funds.

Entry requirements & how to apply

Requirements depend on your qualification, citizenship and chosen programme. Check the university’s current instructions before preparing your application.

Academic entry requirements

Prepare certified school qualifications, transcripts and the required translations. The university and Ministry assess eligibility; meet the specific programme’s language and selection criteria.

Language & course requirements

Check the actual teaching language and accepted proficiency evidence. Preparatory study, entrance assessments and additional subject requirements depend on the course.

For a master’s degree

Check the recognised first degree, relevant subject background and grades required by the programme. Some courses also ask for professional experience, a portfolio, research proposal or an interview.

Documents to prepare

  • Passport, qualification certificates and academic transcripts.
  • Accepted evidence of your programme’s teaching language.

Qualification recognition

Prepare certified school qualifications, transcripts and the required translations. The university and Ministry assess eligibility; meet the specific programme’s language and selection criteria. For regulated professions, verify recognition with the authority in the country where you intend to practise.

Recognition, legalisation and translation are separate steps. Confirm each receiving authority’s requirements.

Choose your intake before you apply

  1. Choose your programme

    Compare subjects, qualification, campus, teaching language and total cost. Confirm eligibility with the institution.

  2. Prepare and apply

    Check the application route, gather the required documents and complete any assessment by the course deadline.

  3. Plan your arrival

    After admission, follow the applicable immigration process and arrange funds, insurance and accommodation.

Visa, work & student life

Student entry and residence

Non-EU degree students generally need a long-stay study visa and a residence permit after arrival, including the required acceptance, funds and insurance evidence.

Use the current official checklist for your citizenship and country of residence. University admission and immigration approval are separate decisions.
